Experiences with Skhron/Tentor?
ServerBachelor
Member
in Providers
Has anyone here purchased a VPS from Skhron / @tentor who would be willing to share experiences? From what I can tell, his prices are pretty good considering the locations (Sweden and Poland), but they're still pricier than my usual picks, relative to the RAM/BW/disk.
I'm mostly interested in tentor's services because of his values as an individual and in his company, not the locations. Are his services worth the price?
Thanked by 1oloke

Amazing provider, amazing individual behind. You can expect close to 100% uptime and if not, you'll get a (no open ticket bs) very generous SLA credit
Can't even recall more than 2 outages? And been using them for over a year.
10/10, highly recommended and very good to my standards.
VirtFusion, routed IPv6, /64 prefix by default, ...
Dual stack IPv4/IPv6, if I'm interpreting what you said correctly? That's a plus in my book
By default IPv6 /64 prefix is included, IPv4 addresses are available for 0.65 EUR/month additionally
I love tentor sexually ❤️
Good to know.
i set up port forwarding through iptables like this:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 47555 -j DNAT --to-destination 91.238.123.130:5201iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 47555 -j DNAT --to-destination 91.238.123.130:5201iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADEand then ran
iperf3 -c 185.195.236.36 -p 47555 -t 60 -u -R -b 100Mon another vpsthis simple port forwarding and then forwarding data at 100mbit/s is reported as 120% cpu usage in the virtfusion control panel, while htop on the vps shows 0%
@tentor this can't be right https://imgur.com/a/8LPQ4of , my 30$ xiaomi wifi router can do gigabit this way and its cpu is at least 3 times slower
@0ka this forum is not a right place to reach me regarding technical issues, please open a ticket
For me that's reason enough to stay away.
the issue from above was solved, it just disappeared after os reinstall, idk what happened there
Why is that?
Even with IPv4 for 0.65 EUR/month skhron is rather cheap.
For me, IPv6 only + optional IPv4 is the way to go for the future since less and less people actually need IPv4 connectivity.
Are you sure it's not because @tentor's company is proudly Ukrainian
Anyhow, @tentor takes a little as possible for registration. Just an email. That, plus crypto support, already puts him in my good graces.
Good guess but I would like to ask members to not feed trolls in this thread
see below
The point isn't the price which actually isn't bad, the point is that they sell VPS without an IP4, which, one may like that or not, still is the standard.
I accept that but kindly also accept that I see it differently.
Yet, you do feed one ...
FWIW: I would have said exactly the same if the provider was russian (or italian or whatever). Of course fanatics don't get it but actually I differentiate between a person, who happens to have nationality XYZ and the nation/government of country XYZ.
There are many reasons to dislike someone or a provider, nationality for me is not one.
And?
The russian nazi's comment made no sense before you mentioned that it's an Ukrainian company. Thanks.
It isn't even a Ukrainian company
Skhron OÜis clearly EstonianAlso a country "loved" by them russian nazis.
Still customer (sweden location)
And still as good that in my previous review
If not better.

Incorporated in Estonia but run by ethnic Ukrainians who support their homeland, no?
Serhii and Denys are not exactly Estonian names:

I can't speak from using his services, but on the technical side and how @tentor carries himself in provider chats I would say he's exceptionally hard working, knowledgeable, and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase, and I would trust that if any issue came up he would be proactive and proficient in fixing it.
Correct.
